Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of early rehabilitation combined with electrotherapeutics on motor function of patients with acute stroke.Methods90 patients with acute stroke were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group with 45 cases in each group. All patients of two groups were treated by routine medication, the cases of the treatment group were added with physical therapy and electrotherapeutics. The motor function of all patients was assessed before and one month after treatment.ResultsAfter treatment, the scores of Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Modified Barthel Index and NFI of all patients in the two groups improved obviously, but the effect of the treatment group was superior to that of the control group ( P<0.05).ConclusionEarly rehabilitation combined with electrotherapeutics can improve the motor function of patients with acute stroke.
